Primordial Dimensions

Rushing out of the shelter hall, Shane smiled lightly when he heard the young soldiers trying to reach him with their voices.

Pursuing him was useless because they had more important things to do as a beast tide of two different beast-races was about to happen.

Shane wasn't sure if he could help out in any way, but he would do everything in his means in order to support the military.

He was still unsure if he would really have to talk with the superior that was supposed to take care of everything within the RadiantRing shelter, but he could decide so later.

Thinking about what he could do, Shane decided to calm down the citizen and help everyone outside to search for secured proximity within the finished houses and Inns.

Shane was confident that if the streets were emptied of all civilians and construction workers, that the soldiers had a much easier time to rush from one position to another.

Not much time passed and he met the first vendors, who still didn't know what exactly was going on, as Shane ordered them to move away, which they disregarded, labeling him as fraud.

Most vendors and stall owners at the Basic-Primordial Dimensions didn't want to fight and decided to live a rather relaxed life, without having ventured out of the shelter even a single time.

With the income, they slowly accumulated they would wait until they aged before they ascended into the Intermediate-Dimensions with a mana purity of exactly 60%.

After that most vendors would just continue to live a rather relaxed life while selling their food, items, or equipment in order to reach higher ranks.

However, their combat prowess was almost nil, while their will was extremely weak.

As such, Shane used something he didn't use until now.

Circulating his mana, he unsheathed his daggers, before his eyes turned murderously cold while he manifested the killing intent he accumulated since he had killed his first beast.

In front of the vendors and stall owners, Shane seemed to grow many folds, as they stepped back subconsciously, staring at him with shocked expressions.

They knew that the youth in front of them was at the later stage of the Mortal stage and nothing they should be afraid of, however, they couldn't help but retreat by the murderous aura radiating from him.

'What the hell is he?! Is he a beast??' The citizens asked themself before they decided to listen to Shane's orders without disregarding his authority anymore.

It was possible that Shane was from the military, even though he didn't wear their clothes or even worse...from a prestigious family.

In the end, the youth in front of them sparkled in charisma and his overbearing attitude caused them to accept everything he said.

Time slowly passed and Shane cleared the streets with his best effort as he suddenly heard a familiar roar far away from the shelter walls, which reminded him immediately of the scaled lizard, while a loud screeching could be heard, revering through the dark night.

'Is that some kind of bad joke?' Shane cursed in his mind when he remembered the crystal feathered eagles at the hillside far away from their shelter….

'Do we have to face a ground and aerial attack at the same time?!` He started to wonder as he heard multiple multiple crossbows and bow shots drowning the screeching within the sky.

The most unfortunate fact was, that it was currently around midnight, while the moon lightened up the surrounding landscape.

Only the shelter itself was brightened up while Shane hoped that the military was at least smart enough to construct countermeasures against such a simple issue.

Previously thanks to Uncle Lars' teachings, Shane was confident in humanity's military.

However, this confidence began to slowly dissipate when he noticed that not even their soldiers could read a simple mana fluctuation long-range radar which didn't even have any modifications installed like he was used to.

However, his impression about the military improved slightly, as he noticed that a large white-yellowish mana circle spread out from the shelter's center, radiating bright sunlights, brightening up the surrounding 1 kilometer.

Even though he wouldn't approve the usage of the [Radiating Sun Magic-circle] in such a scenario, because of the excessive mana consumption, it was definitely better than fighting without being able to see anything.

The [Radiating Sun Magic-circle] was an expensive high-quality parchment with a magic circle inscribed on it, and it was a one-time item only used in perilous situations if a shelter's existence was on the line.

From what Shane saw on the long-distance radar this was not required, because the number of awakened beasts he saw on it was lower than expert soldiers within the shelter.

At least, if the Inn owner's intel were not wrong.

If they stalled time, even the massive number of Wild- and Elite-stage beasts would be completely useless.

But in the end, it was not his decision and he should rather be grateful that the soldiers in charge decided to waste wealth instead of being stingy, which he would most likely be.

Once the alleys were cleared, the surrounding was filled with beasts and humans crying out in pain and agony, while all kinds of elemental attributed projectiles were shot towards the shelter wall and guards on top.

Meanwhile, the guards retorted the scaled lizards' elemental attacks by attacking them with their crossbows, bows, and ballistae, killing one low stage beast after another.

Unfortunately, the long-range weapons used by the guards were used for the majority of Wild- and Elite-stage beasts while the awakened scaled lizards were able to protect themselves.

As such the main threat was still on their way towards the wall, while the crystal feathered eagles dived down from the sky in order to pick out guards that were about to reload their weapons.

To Shane, it seemed like the scaled lizards and crystal feathered eagles were able to work well together even though they should have been enemies according to what he thought.

In order to receive resources, beasts, humans, and all other races fought always against each other, while both the scaled lizards and crystal feathered eagles obviously used the same source in order to strengthen themselves or forcefully mutate their affinity.

As such the demand of both races for elemental crystal caves should be extremely high, causing many clashes about their interest and most likely even a war…

This caused a simple question to form in Shane's mind

'Why?'

'Why are they attacking us humans, who barely entered the lesser thunder wolves territory? They don't even know our real combat prowess… What are they scared of?'

Shane wasn't sure what exactly was going on, but it seemed like the guards had everything under control for the moment, as he decided to climb one of the largest Inn that protruded over the walls in order to observe the situation with his bow in one hand, while a Tier-1 rare quality arrow was already nocked at the bowstring.

On top of the roof, he could observe everything much better, as he tried to check the situation clearly

'Most awakened beasts are further behind?? And why does the ratio between scaled lizard and crystal feathered eagles seem to be wrong? There are many more scaled lizards while I haven't seen an awakened crystalized eagle attacking our defenses…'

There was only one possibility Shane had which caused him to feel helpless as a bad premonition began to form within him.

'Please let me be wrong!'
